Sheep meat
Sheep meat comprises cuts from sheep whose characteristics vary with cut, age and handling, and is sold fresh, minced, bone-in or boneless.
About Sheep meat
Sheep meat is meat from sheep and includes cuts from different parts of the animal. Its colour, firmness, fat content, and flavour vary with the cut, the animal’s age, and how it has been handled. Meat from younger sheep is often marketed differently from meat from mature animals.
It is sold as bone-in or boneless cuts, minced meat, and other forms, and can be roasted, braised, grilled, or cooked by other methods. The broad name does not identify a specific cut or age category, which limits direct comparison between products.
